mardonzi has one for sale needs work 2500$ i think is what he wants
I'm sure my brother would want a good running one that doesn't need much work. I don't think he even knows the difference between a screwdriver and a wrench.
So my brother wants to buy a Jeep to leave in Havasu and he doesn't know what to look for. I recomended something newer with fuel injection. What do you jeep experts recomend? And does anyone know of any for sale. Hes probably looking in the $5k-$7k price range.

Early 90's Wrangler with a 4.0. Best value in the Jeep world right now. You can get a nice one in that range.
Depending on what is out there in his price range, a 97 and newer TJ if possible (coil spring suspension) The square headlight YJ's that were made prior to that aren't as desirable.
Not going to get F.I. for that much $$$ I dont think. And Rick is right about 97 or newer for the coil springs!! JMO NSF
I bought a 94 YJ with a lift, wheels and tires, steering damper for $4000. Its only a 4 banger, but we tow it where we want to go and mostly use if for off road exploring. A bargain I think. Insurance is cheap too.

I don't worry if it gets scratched, or dirty. Low investment......low worry factor.

Thats the very car I speak of. The 4.0 is fool injected all years.
If ya like the coils you can convert the suspension with an off the shelf kit. Black diamond I think. Used to be a Warn kit Superlift owns it now. I think they market it as Black diamond
IMHO the YJ is a little more roomy then the TJ. I hate the dash in the TJ. Tore it out of ours and built a new one.
You can pull a CJ in that price range as well but you better like turning wrenches. they are getting pretty old.
If ya want a basket case I have two or three out back.

Guess he is looking old then, REALLY OLD
It is a rough ride, how much and how hard is the coilover change?
